Check that the ground stud on the end of the starter is tight in the brush holder. Tighten the jamb nut if necessary. Same with the pos stud on the solenoid. Clean them. Clean the cable connections. If you have the clamp on cable ends... get rid of them and SOLDER on NEW crimp style ends... provided that the cables are good and don't seem to have broken strands. You also want to make sure that you have a minimum of 2/0 cables and the proper 4DLT battery doesn't hurt, particularly if it's cold.... If that doesn't solve the problem then the humble Lucas probably needs a new set of brushes and a new end bushing. Pretty basic maintenance on those things... and it's good to go for another 3000 hours. Just because it spins up fine on the bench doesn't mean the brushes are good...

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
